“We have to find new Trezeguets. He is a cheap and talented footballer. We have expensive footballers but they did not succeed,” Sümer told Fotospor.

Kasimpasa have triggered the release clause in Trezeguet’s contract to seal the Egyptian’s services on a permanent basis, but they will probably sell him after the World Cup in case his performances with the national team increased his price.

Trezeguet helped massively in guiding Egypt for the 2018 World Cup after winning two crucial penalties during the qualifiers, including a last-gasp penalty against Congo that earned the Pharaohs their qualification to the World Cup.
